How do we measure the amount of time that a student spends working on a course?
When a student selects an activity, we send them a series of screens all at once. This means that once they start working on a section, they will not have to wait for additional material to arrive on their computer. This is important when slower Internet connection speeds or network congestion becomes a problem. However, as soon as all of the screens arrive, we start a timer. Note: A student’s time in an activity is independent of their Internet connection speed.
